Funcom Press Release announces the completion of the Alien Invasion
expansion for Anarchy Online, their science fiction MMORPG, saying the add-on
should be available on September 1. Here's a bit on the expansion, which
includes the original AO, the Notum Wars expansion, and 30 days of free play:

"With this expansion we seek to further strengthen the sci-fi aspects of
Anarchy Online," said Game Director Marius Enge, "Not only that, we have filled
the expansion pack to the brim with unique and fast-paced action features, as
well as a host of socially orientated features like player-made towns and guild
houses. I believe that the combined package of Alien Invasion and the original
AO will further cement our reputation as the ultimate sci-fi MMORPG"

Funcom is also implementing a brand new beginner experience with the coming of
Alien Invasion. The new sci-fi orientated beginner playfield lowers the entrance
barrier into the world of Anarchy Online, allowing everyone a more entertaining
beginner experience.

I tried it again about a year after release. It improved greatly. You could actually zone, but the world was empty. The best time I had in AO was at release, when 100 or so people were stuck in town and you sit down, follow someone, and be dragged around. Good Times.
